The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary 400/ 4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set foot pegs and its most recognisable feature, a sinuous four-into-one exhaust system.
This good looking Honda 400/ 4 has been restored by the vendor, the owner of Nigel Pocock Restorations. Using many new parts and parts refinished by his own company, it is presented in authentic and original condition, fitted with a period style Guiliari sports seat and most importantly the distinctive 4 into 1 exhaust system. Only ridden for about 1 mile since its restoration and run recently, it will need the normal checks before going back on the road, and will be supplied with some receipts and a current V5C.
